I borrowed this directly, word for word from the Caribe Atlantic Area web site. Under Wesleyan Mission Haiti. The links do work if you want to learn more. At the summit I think they reported at 40 days were spoken for at this time. Dr. Kris

365 Challenge

The original hospital on La Gonave was built in 1958. Due to damage from the earthquake, the need for a new facility became urgent. The new hospital was designed to meet international earthquake standards and was built by employing a Haitian workforce. In September of 2013, the new facility celebrated its grand opening ceremony with a little work remaining to be finished. We anticipate operations will completely transition to the new facility by June 2014. 

While the hospital currently generates 60% of its projected costs through patient fees and grants, we are launching the "365 Challenge" to raise the remaining funds. Approximately $1000 per day is needed to offset the operational costs of the new hospital. We are looking for churches, individuals, small groups, or Sunday school classes to choose a day, week or month and send the funds needed to support those days. Gifts can be recurring or one-time donations. 

The 365 Challenge will help fund:

• The immediate hiring of several medical and administrative personnel
• Across-the-board staff salary increases needed for full government accreditation
• The launch of a retail pharmacy, a badly needed local resource and income producer for the hospital
• A dignified indigent program for the very poor
• Increased partner services for the 6500 Compassion sponsored children on LAG island
• Renovations of the nursing school scheduled for the fall of 2014
